Apache will do you just fine I think.... do a search for the CGIC library....

Hi,

You can make interactive website with C, but it's not smart. I suggest that you use PHP. Check out www.php.net to get more information.

If you still think that you want to use C to write your website, you have to configure your server to support CGI. Programming is very easy, at least when you use CGIC-library.

in fact, programming CGIs in C is very easy even when you don't use the CGIC library. The only problem is that C was never intended to be used as a web scripting language. Personally, I think PHP is one of the best languages for writing interactive websites, and it has almost a C-like syntax.
